Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 134105

(Other Applications Graveyard :: ChatZilla, defect, P2)

Description

[Leon Sha]

Using chatzilla through socks5 proxy.

In the command line enter /server irc.gnome.org
BUG-- Note in the status screen the connection fails
However if user inputs irc.gnome.org's ip address it connects
i.e. /server 128.32.112.245 - connection gets established,  user can then /join
#sun.

Reporter, is this basically just a DNS issue? I.e. it won't resolve the domain
name properly, but the correct IP for the same domain works fine?

No, I think the problem is mozilla can not use socks proxy to resolve the domain
name. I have tried other applications with the same proxy, they works fine.

Resolving as DUP to bug 134105 since comments indicate it is the same issue.
